had their letters printed on large

rolled and placed in crows quill and
the quill was tied to the mid-feather
of the pigeons tail. Then the bird
was sent flying home to Paris. The
film was unrolled and the letters de.

who exhibit pictures and enlarged

The new system of receiving and discussing aXcS
has been operated successfully in every detail. The
whole amount levied was paid into the Treasury
within the time required 10y law, and although
II number of bills were placed in the hands of the
Sheriff. only two small properties were sold 10y that
officer. In both cases the owners gave their free
and fun concurrence and preferred that the sales
be made. The total levy for Stale and County
taxes was Sl%L1gL73. The Treasurer received
SEQ l65;,2: the sheriff S22lG.; and the balance is
accounted for III discounts and reductions allow ed.
The large increase i'll discount is alone strong
proof of the appreciation in which the system is
held by the tax payers and the prOmpturSS with
which they awaited themselves of the opportunity
to tighten their burden This benefit was not Sc
cured alone by those indebted for large amounts.
\ very considerable number of persons owing small
sums came forward during the discount months
and settled their bills.
Another general advantage of the system is in
the early receipt of County funds and the mmcdi-
ate application of the same to the settlement of
claims against the County, and the consequent
avoidance of 50 many frequent temporary loans to
meet demands upon the Treasury. Under the dis
rict-collcCtor system, in operation from SS2 to lSN6
payments were made 10 the Commissioners regUI-
farIy every month and occasionally during the in
term, and this II gratifying reform from the
slow and uncertain system that preceded it: but
the direct daily receipt and disbursement of funds
has proved gigantic stride i'll the direction of
financial reform.
No feature of the system, however, can be
more attractive to the taxpayers than its cheap
ness, compared with the cXpcmSivcuCs> of the

Some Solid Shot,

Every new spaper man Will recog-
nize the truthfulness of this from the
Michigan City Dispatch: There is to
be found in nearly every community
class of persons who are always
watching IA newspaper for some cause
of ofense. 1t it strikes others they
care little or nothing; if it sfatter
themselves they are pleased, and take
it as matter of course; but if it reflect
in the slightest manner upon any of
their doings, though it be in the
fairest terms, they become sulky and
go off at a tangent. They never
seem to understand that newspaper,
to be of any use or value, must be
impartial and fearless in its treatment
of questions of principle. and that it
cannot devote all its time and atten
ton to patting selfconscious people on
the back and smoothing their fur. A
newspaper of wide circulation deals
with an entire community, and can
not stop to chuck every self-worship-
per under the chin, or to tickle every
vain soul in order to see it wriggle
and laugh. "-Sterling Bulletin.

opened at the opera house ON the 10Th
inst, by Hon. A. w. Tourgee, LII. D.,
the well-known author of ''Hot Plow-
shares, " "A FOOLS Errand" and sever
al other popular books. Judge Tourgee
is too well-knoWn to require comment
on his ability as lecturer. Doubtless
no better selection could have been
made for a speaker with whom to open
the course of lectures. All lovers of
this better class of entertainment will
hail with delight this course of lee
lures, as they will be of quality supe-
rior to what Great Bend has ever been
able to obtain.
Geo. c.. Min is booked for the 18th,
and his ability as a tragedian will
draw for him a good house.
Tickets for the season are now on
sale, and special arrangements will be
made for school children over twelve
years of age. All children under twelve
years old will be admitted free when
accompanied by their parents.

How 1t Works.

When a man comes to Kansas from
the east, he dresses well, goes to church
regularly and carries meagre bank
account. The second year he brings
out his second best suit of clothes that
he wore ''back in the settlements" and
figures ON the profits of his cattle and
hogs, and the amount of interest that
will be coming to him. The third year
he comes out in brown Overalls with
but one suspender, points with pride"
to his broad acres, well improved farm
and fat stock, and talks about bonds
and local politics as he smokes his pipe
and sips his coffee in first-class reStau-
rants. Then there are not influences
enough in the east to draw him back.
He goes to church when tie weather is
favorable, sends his hey; to college,
gets mother a new sill. lress every
now and then in consideration of her
not insisting upon rs wearing his
brOadclOth or black. : ais boots" He
is every inch of man nevertheless

OUR TICKET ELECTED
EXCEPT CORONER!
LET JOY BE UNCONFINED!

Barton county is democratic us was
fully demonstrated last Tuesday. TIC
say that the republican ticket was
weak is not true. Nearly every man
on their ticket added strength to it and
they were defeated simply because the
democrats were too numerous in this
neck of the woods
Well, our ticket is elected and the
majority in most instances is large
enough to be decisive. Now let us
profit by victory. Let each and every
one of those who were elected resolve
to SO conduct the office that his friends
may feel proud of him. We rejoice
that it was Il democratic victory, and
We also are happy to believe that the
people will have no reason to regret
this depression Of confidence in the
party.
The democrats ought also to forever
hold i'll grateful remembrance the
action of the townships outside of
Great Bend. Surely if people did
their duty the democratic voters of the
county did last Tuesday. The DEM
oCRAT congratulates the people on
this victory and now it will set to work
preparing to coin Il greater victory
next year than this
